** Summary changed: - xfce ignores .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb + xfce's xinitrc ignores ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb
** Description changed: When logging into my fresh install of xubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron), xfce fails to merge the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb into the xrdb database. This is a problem because the settings I chose in the user - interface control panel are not honored by certain applications (e.g. - firefox 3). + interface control panel go into that file, but since they are not merged + into xrdb at login time, they are never seen by certain applications + (e.g. firefox 3). Upon login: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q *customization: -color [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb Xft.antialias: 0 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none Opening the user interface settings, changing a setting, and closing it again, causes my settings to be merged. Here's the same command output after doing so: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -q *customization: -color Xft.antialias: 0 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat .config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb Xft.antialias: 0 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none - I'm not willing to use hardy if it requires me to manually reconfigure - my UI every time I log in. - - I don't know what package is responsible for merging xrdb settings. + I believe the xfce4-utils package owns /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc, which is + responsible for merging my xrdb settings. I think there may be an upstream debian bug, since this guy seems to be having the same problem: http://beranger.org/index.php?page=diary&2008/03/05/15/10/36-debian-lenny-xfce-cd-buggy-as-no -- xfce's xinitrc ignores ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
